How far off is your camber with the H&R's? I'd like to just get those and use them out of the box if possible. Does it require an alignment?


I just read this entire thread up to now. I still don't really feel confident about any of the options that are available so far. I would like to drop a little, but not if it means I have to replace shocks and add chamber kits and things. Is the H&R option the least invasive option? (We should have a small list of options in order of amount of drop, which also lists if you should get chamber kits, etc)

I am using 17" wheels and I don't plan on changing that. I have two sets of 17"s. having larger wheels on your car can reduce shock life by itself I believe . I am hoping someone will tell me H&R's with 17" wont kill my shocks all that quickly.

Thanks for the thread guys.

 

doesnt matter what springs you put. your gonna need shocks. my tien h-tech dont drop the car as much as other springs do, and my shocks went real quick. i dont need a camber kit though.

 

looks like another bites the dust.. once again another company fronted on us on these coilovers for our cars...guess we are stuck with springs........looks like that company no longer exist....click on link also the contact number i had no longer works.....

 

I asked this in another thread about camber, but I thought I would ask here also.


What camber kits work for front and rear on the X? I want to see how much they might cost.

Are the cusco ones any good? They have them on everythingg35.com for ~$500. That seems like a lot though.

Anyway to get front and rear kits for cheaper? Something decent that wont break or have issues?

I guess I could buy used. What should I look for?

Thanks guys. My drop on the Eibachs look awesome but I think my camber is a little off. Ill get a 4 wheel alignment done soon, unless you guys think I should get camber kits... then I will wait.

 

Actually I still talked to the guy I am dealing with. He sent the front struts to the company and they are starting R&D. He is keeping me updated too.

Edit: Just got a text from him. It says "new one in the works. Gonna have a forum and more info.

 

NICE Did he tell u anything about there website?

 

That is what the text is about. He is building a new one soon.

 

ooh ok... sounds good. can't wait

 

2006 X on Eibach pro kit. Pre-Alignment, Pre-camber kits (I am going to do front and rear SPC I think)

 

whats the H&R model number for the springs? 53036 or 53035

 

53036

 

Damn those springs are the perfect drop! Do you know roughly what they dropped you ? Hows the camber on them ?

 

H&R springs drop you approx. 1.75 inches.

 

For those of you that are running a staggered setup without the fuse pulled, How is everything going? How many miles?

 

running with the fuse in no traction problems for a month and mostly driven on highways.....even on rainy crappy days with 20 inch staggered slammed just do it....i used to be just like u but finally tried it and it's awesome... absolutely no problem. Thanks to SEDDON who helped me with the specs.
